                                            | In dataset properties, I click on Query Designer button and then click on the exclamation mark to run the stored proc.Then I see a list of parameters which I then populate with sample data to pass to the stored proc.Then several fields is returned.Question, why is it that when I click on the refresh button instead of hte query designer, then the parameters window is not shown and I only see one field in the ReportData window under the dataset I just created.Any thoughts please?Thanks |
